Hi folks,

I'm joining a cousin in the Boston Triathlon this July. She's asked me to do the bike leg on her relay team and I'm stoked. My only real questions is how do the relay cyclists and runners warm up? Is there room to sit on a trainer? A nearby stretch of road I can tool around on? I race road and cyclocross and the idea of going into a TT cold is less than optimal.

Thoughts/input/suggestions? Thanks!

Hey folks,

I've got my 80k coming up, uh, now. I'd been saving for it, but unfortunately, our dog got a pretty serious and obviously unexpected injury (he's doing great, now). This wiped those funds out. It'll take me a bit to rebuild. How far can I push past 80k on the nose before I need to start worrying?

2010 Jetta TDI sportwagen, if it matters. (Also, I'm keeping it. I love this damn car.)

Years and years ago, I was at a Denny's. A guy got pulled over and his vehicle searched. My friends and I watched from inside as more and more squad cars showed up. In the end, the driver was cuffed and put in the back of the officer's car, and something was put in a large paper back and placed on the back of the squad car.

The officer started to drive away (with the bag still on the trunk). I jumped out, waved the officer down, and pointed it out. He said, "haha, I was just testing you, thanks!" grabbed the bag, and drove away.

What are the odds that this was the police officer trying to "lose" evidence to give the guy a break vs just actually forgetting it?

Hey folks, A year and a half ago, I got laid off from my first in-house gig (and first copywriting job) after a 2-year stint. I found work about a month later, and have been in that role ever since (a copywriting/comms manager role).

One of the companies I interviewed with in that month interval 18 months ago recently contacted me out of the blue, offering me a job. To be honest, I would rather work for them. Better culture, better benefits, better salary, and more writing, less lever pulling.

Here's the question, though: is three jobs with three organizations in 4-5 years too many?

My dad has me convinced that anything less than a 3 year stint at any location flags me as a "job hopper" t

We realized not too long after moving into a new place that the texture/color on our ceramic tile was actually grime.

I don't know if I have time to go hands and knees on this, but if that's what it takes, that's what it takes.

What I'm hoping for is an abrasive mop.

Wait. I don't think you heard me. I want a mop so abrasive that if I accidentally go over my foot, I'm looking down at sparkling bone.

I broke two mops from Target (hollow metal tubes) trying to exert enough pressure to get any traction. Allegedly these were scrub mops, too.

Please tell me there's something I can use. Either the right kind of mop or perhaps a chemical agent that would eventually give me cancer, but more
